| September Shows
List of upcoming shows through the end of the month on my radar | | 1 |  | Rolo Tomassi
Where Myth Becomes Memory
Playing Metro Gallery Wednesday, 9/14 (say, that's tomorree...) - Slightly iffy on this one, if only due to the dense lineup on a weeknight and my increasing old-fogey-hood, but odds are I bite the bullet and do it, loved this record. | | 2 |  | The Callous Daoboys
Die On Mars
Opening for Rolo Tomassi - Haven't scoped out their newest one yet, but definitely plan on snagging a copy at the show if/when I go. | | 3 |  | Under The Pier
An Exercise In Discontent
Also opening for RT - Local boys! And Callous Daoboys labelmates in their own right. | | 4 |  | Cryptodira
The Angel of History
Also ALSO opening for RT - I have a sneaking suspicion, based on how it's listed on the venue site, that this will be the penultimate band, and they're honestly the ones I'm least excited for, but so it goes. | | 5 |  | Clutch
Sunrise On Slaughter Beach
Playing Hammerjack's Saturday, 9/17 - This show's been on my radar for a minute, but I truthfully didn't even know they had a new album out this week until like yesterday. | | 6 |  | Quicksand
Distant Populations
Opening for Clutch - Probably worth the price of admission in their own right. | | 7 |  | Helmet
Meantime
Also opening for Clutch - It's kinda surprising to see an act with this large a following third on the bill, though truth be told, Helmet is a band I never truly got into, at least not in any meaningful sense. I'm pretty sure I have Meantime on CD somewhere, but that's the shameful extent of my exposure to them, other than by rep. | | 8 |  | Porcupine Tree
Closure/Continuation
Playing The Anthem (D.C.) Sunday 9-18 - This one all hinges on whether I can convince my dad to go, which is a pretty telling distillation of the PT brand these days haha (also, the fact that it's apparently a seated show?); that said, I just finally got my nifty new box set in the mail from them, and plan on giving it a spin soon, so if the material's enough to convince me, just might be a solo bolo... | | 9 |  | Thursday
Full Collapse
Playing Das Ottobar Monday 9/19 - And here we have arguably the biggest argument *not* to see Porcupine Tree, since back-to-back shows, particularly both weeknights, can really put a dent in these old bones. Still, the chance to see Full Collapse cover-to-cover is hard to pass up. | | 10 |  | Anthony Green
Boom. Done.
Opening for Thursday - I've caught Anthony solo at least once in the past year, possibly twice, and honestly, the energy wasn't great (the fact that I can't remember how many times I saw him very possibly speaks to that). That was, if memory serves, prior to this record dropping, however, and it's quite good from what I've heard, so...hey, who knows, maybe we'll get an L.S. Dunes track in the mix, as well. | | 11 |  | My Chemical Romance
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
Playing Firefly Music Festival Friday 9/23 - My partner bought us one-day passes specifically to see just MCR. Sure, there are value added artists that day like Gus Dapperton, Indigo de Souza, All Time Low, Cold War Kids, Weezer (ehhh), and Avril Lavigne that same day, but let's be real...we're there for MCR. | | 12 |  | Sunny Day Real Estate
Diary
Playing The Fillmore Silver Spring Monday 9/26 - Another Monday night joint, but hell, already took Tuesday off for this bidness. Missed out on seeing Jeremy open solo for No Devotion a little earlier this year after that show got cancelled last-minute due to covid, but I'd call this a not-too-shabby consolation prize. | | 13 |  | The Appleseed Cast
The Fleeting Light of Impermanence
Opening for Sunny Day - Frankly, equally excited to see these guys. In addition to an already incredible back-catalogue, this album in particular has only grown in my esteem since it first came out, and I'm sincerely hoping we get a follow-up soon. | | 14 |  | The Get Up Kids
Four Minute Mile
Playing Baltimore Soundstage 9/27 - This one actually just popped up on my radar recently. Have a buddy already set to come into town from WV for the Sunny Day/Appleseed action, tryna see if he wants to extend his stay by a day to keep making the seminal emo rounds... | | 15 |  | Sparta
Wiretap Scars
Opening for Get Up Kids - Yet another case where I'm as excited for the opener as the headliner, if not more so, especially if we pretend Trust the River never happened. | |

09.13.22 | eyyy I'm catching Rolo Tomassi/Callous Daoboys/Cryptodira on the 15th up in Brooklyn. let's get it m/ m/ m/ | bludngorevidal
09.13.22 | gotta say i'm a little bummed we have to sit through cryptodira to get to RT lol but callous daoboys should be siqq | AlexKzillion
09.13.22 | seems like we live in roughly the same area lol
really wanted to go to that rolo show but i just can't bring myself to drive to baltimore during rush hour traffic on a work night
i got meshuggah/converge at the fillmore and PUP at rams head next week | thecheatisnotdead
09.13.22 | @gore: Sounds like we're on the exact same page, lineup-wise haha
@Alex: Oh nice! Yeah, I'm right near Camden Yards, so fortunately Metro and Ottobar are both just a stone's throw (and Ram's Head, Soundstage, and Pier Six are straight-up walkable), so sittin' pretty, location-wise.
Those should be solid shows, as well! | thecheatisnotdead
09.16.22 | Shockingly, for a band I didn't really care about coming in, Cryptodira was actually pretty enjoyable! |
